4 Cave Full of Skeletons.

The people of Nashville, Tennessee,
are excited over CHASTITY discovery
near Cookville, situated on what was
known many years ago as the Kentucky
Stock Road, which at that time was the
principal highway for traders between
Kentucky and Georgia or South Caro-
lima. Stopping places on the road were
few and far between, and many men
returning after selling their stock never
reached home. Some years ago skele-
ton was found at the entrance to a cave
near Cookville, and II few days ago a
party concluded to explore the cave.
Back on the mountain side, about one
half mile from one of tie notorious
stopping places on the old road, the en-
trance to the cave was found. hole
something like well, going straight
down some thirty-tive feet, was first
passed through, and then the cave
opened into large cayerns, with down.
ward course under the mountain. At
the bottom of the shaft the party found
human bones, and with little digging
In the dirt that had accumulated at this
point unearthed about sixty skeletons
of men who had been murdered and
thrown down this hole. Some skulls
were found with bullet holes through
them, others being mashed with an axe
or other instruments of that kind. Old
citizens now living in that vicinity say
that the keepers of these dens would
keep track of the travellers when they
passed through with stock, and on their
return they would be almost certain TO
disappear. There is another cave twenty
miles from C0okville near one of the old
inns.and ali exploration of it will be
made also

Great Fire AT Ora ftOH.

On Tuesday Il great fire at Grafton,
this State, destroyed 100000 worth of
business and residence property in the
heart of the town. Beginning in res
taurant occupied by a woman named
Martin, it swept everything before it
between the Courthouse and the Balti
more and Ohio Depot. In this space
were several drug stores, two fine bust
ness blocks, three hotels, the publishing
house of the Standard Enterprise, two
furniture stores, several millinery
stores, tobacco houses and the printing
office Of the State printer. 4 number
of fine dwelling houses were also de-
stroyed. The town has no engine, and
help was asked from Parkers5urg. One
fire engine was sent on train, the en-.

ten thousand doiiars-all he had saved
in years-by the fire. The run was

Praying for Rain.

The country round about Cambridge,
Illinois, is said to be burning mp under
a blazing sun. No such Groughtas now
preyails has existed in that section of
the country for many years. The roads
are ankle deep with dust, the pastures
are brown, the leaves on forest and
shade trees shrivelle1 up, aud each hot
breath of air from the cloudless horizon
drives them away in showers. Greeks
have run dry. and the water in the
larger streams is at a lower stage than
was ever known before. Many wells
have been pumped dry, and in cases
water for family use has 10 be carried one
or two miles. There has not been a
soaking rain since March. Two show
ers in April and one each in May and
June had but a temporary effect on
crops. Unless heavy rain comes
speedily all kinds of grain will be nearly
destroyed. Stunted yellow spears
bending disconsoately over immense
beds of dust are the only evidence that
farmers sowed any corn this year. The
leaves of the fruit trees are falling off,
and the fruit which promised to be
plenty is wrinkcd aud dried to the
stem. The drought has become so ter
rible that public prayers are heing
offered for rain. Tie fences along the
country roads and the dead walls Of the
villages are plastered with huge yellow
and red bills calling for special service
at the district school houses and
churches. a prayer meeting was held
OIL the farm of Jules Lippincott We'd
nesday night. Farmers came from
miles around, and when all was ready
men and women fell upon their knees,
and. lifting their faces to the stars, inl-
pored God TO send rain. The meeting
lasted until midnight. At that hour
bank of rain clouds crept slowly out of
the southwest and soon spread over the
entire western horizon. The prospect
OF deliverauce from the ruin that faced
them drove many of the men delirious
with joy, and the meeting which Il few
moments before was of the most lu-
gubrious character now broke up with
a dance and prayer of thanksgiving.
Rain did not come, however, and the
atmosphere is suffOcating. Fires are
burning in the woods, and pastures for
miles around are scored. The farmers
have lost many cattle in these fires,
which seem TO spring mp in 4 dozen
places at once. Section hands along
the railroads are worn out from their
persistent struggle against the flames
during the past fortnight. Reports from
all parts of Henry and adjoining coun-
ties tell of intense suffering from the
drought. The drinking water in many
towns hes been polluted, and the white
beds of the creeks are covered with de-
caying fish.
Since the above was written some rain
has fallen in portions of the afflicted
district, partially relieving the distress.

OBsTljA KY.

III know thee there, by that sweet face,
Round which a tender halo plays,
Still touched with that expressive grace
That made thee lovely all thy days
BY that sweet smile that DER 1t shed
a beauty like the light Of even,
Whose soft expression never fed
Even when its soul had fled to Heaven.
| wonder if this cool sweet breeze
Hath touched thy lips and famed thy brow
For all my spirit hears and sees
Recalls thee to my memory now;
For every hour we breathe apart

Already filled so full Of thee.
Yet many tear these eyes must weep,
And many sin must be forgiven,
Ere these pale lids shall sink to sleep.
And you and shall meet In Heaven.

In the course OF the performance of a
border drama at Kansas City Tuesday
night, Captain Jack Crawford, the noted
poet scout, who was in box, became
greatly excited, and, iesping on to the
stage, he struck two OF the stage Indians
heavy blows in the face, knocking them
headlong. backing the eye of one and
cutting open the lip of the other. Craw-
ford was quieted down after 9 time and
then he apologized, saying that he could
not bear to see his old-time friend Wild
Bill pressed hard by savages, even on
the mimic stage. He said, further, that
he does act drink intoxicating bever-

The forty days in which DIR. Nc
GlyOn, the Catholic priest, was allowed
to present himself before the Pope at
Rome have expired and DR.. McGlynn
has not even made start for Italy.
The penalty attending the refusal to APP
pear before the Pope is excommunica-
ton, but no public announcement has
yet been made of the DR.. having been eX-
communicated. The question is a very
peculiar one, and one that will be hard
to settle satisfactorily to the church.
OF course it wont do for the church
to recede from its position, for that will
be confession of wrong and a loss Of
power. Yet if the DIR. is exeommuni-
Gated it will be an act which will be
most seriously distasteful to thousands
OF loyal Catholics who have the same
opinions as DR.. MeGlynn and do not
hesitate to say that they will maintain
theni in spite of everything. The issue
Of the affair will be watched with great
interest.

WE are sort o. losing confidence in the

some of its recent yarns. Last week it
quoted a tale of COW that had swal-

Bat when it advanced another story, of
home manufacture, about a snake that
tried to swallow a COW we confess that
we waver in our belief in the veracity
of the Free Press. We can't swallow
the story any more than the snake could
swallow the COW.

The reunion of the men of Pickett's
division with the Philadelphia soldiers
who opposed them twenty-four years
ago was a happy event at Gettysburg
last Sunday, and Il real reminder that
the war is over. The men who fought
each other so bravely then embrace
each other now, and friendship and adj
miration for each other was the general
feeling at the reunion. The true SOL
diers on neither side have any bitter
ness or enmity, but express goodwill
anG respect for the their honorable op-
ponents. There was no room at Gettys-
burg Sunday for "those who traffic in
sectional hate" and there should be no
room for them anywhere In these Uni
ted States.
